"Christian, conservative, white male" Doug Giles on feminism

In his April 24, 2004, column on The Heritage Foundation's website Townhall.com, columnist Doug Giles claimed that, according to "the feminists," his opinion, that of a "Christian, conservative, white male," "no longer counts." Giles continued:

According to the feminists ... not only does the WASPy man know nothing, but he better not say things like:

The feminists spit on everything that's based on Judeo/Christian ethics.

The feminists will gladly get rid of your church or synagogue.

The feminists live to walk on our flag and everything for which it stands.

The feminists would love to hit the delete button on our nation's collective memory.

The feminists are more than willing to re-write history.

The feminists are adept in messing with our kids' minds.

The feminists hate anything that's normal.

The feminists hate anything that is decent.

Feminism has now become a synonym for lesbianism.

Or, he'll have hell to pay.

ABOUT OUR RESEARCH

Our research section features in-depth media analysis, original reports illustrating skewed or inadequate coverage of important issues, thorough debunking of conservative falsehoods that find their way into coverage and other special projects from Media Matters' research department.

The New York Times was forced to issue two corrections after relying on Capitol Hill anonymous sourcing for its flawed report on emails from former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Clinton debacle is the latest example of why the media should be careful when relying on leaks from partisan congressional sources -- this is far from the first time journalists who did have been burned.

Several Fox News figures are attempting to shift partial blame onto Samuel DuBose for his own death at the hands of a Cincinnati police officer during a traffic stop, arguing DuBose should have cooperated with the officer's instructions if he wanted to avoid "danger."

Iowa radio host Steve Deace is frequently interviewed as a political analyst by mainstream media outlets like NPR, MSNBC, and The Hill when they need an insider's perspective on the GOP primary and Iowa political landscape. However, these outlets may not all be aware that Deace gained his insider status in conservative circles by broadcasting full-throated endorsements of extreme right-wing positions on his radio show and writing online columns filled with intolerant views that he never reveals during main stream media appearances.
